Best AC/DC-song ever.

The smile on your face when the music kicked in is exactly how I reacted when I first heard AC/DC when I was 14.. I’m now 56 and I still love them.

When Bon Scott passed, over 20 of my friends sat around a keg of beer and cried our eyes out! Rock and roll seriously died!

Yes, remember when the news came out the next day. It was so tough, disbelief

1980: Named my first band after this song: RIFF RAFF!

I was around 9 years old when ACDC came on the scene here in Australia, and for the first time I heard them I was addicted. So, I was very lucky to grow with them and watch them become megastars. I have all of their 13 albums, and they are without a doubt, my all-time favorite band. I Just love to watch their WOW ! reaction and the instant smile and nodding of the head to the beat of their music, that these people on these reaction channels experience. It is testament to their incredible raw talent, and showmanship.

Powerage is easily the most under-appreciated AC/DC album- There's not a single clunker on it. Kind of amazing when you consider it doesn't have any of their standards or hit singles on it either.

It is very very ultimately HARD for die hard ac dc fan to choose the best ac dc album between 'holy trinity' ac dc albums: let there be rock, powerage, highway to hell. There is not one single note on all songs of this three magnificent albums. What wholle lotta rosie is for let there be rock, that is riff raff for powerage or if you want blood for highway to hell - and that is only one combination - you can easily set numerous 'best' songs on holy trinity...

Plenty of people, including some critics, consider Powerage to be the greatest Rock n Roll album of the 70's and almost everyone considers it the best AC/DC album. Not sure 'underrated' applies unless you're like me and think no rating can possibly be high enough for this album.

One of my favourite ACDC songs. The video of this song Live at the Apollo is insane. Angus goes off. You got to watch it.

It's here! Riff Raff is finally here!

I LOVE playing this on my SG. It's such a killer RIFF (Raff) : ) Powerage is in my all-time top 5 albums.

I am a huge AC/DC fan. Riff Raff is right up there with my favorite AC/DC songs of all time. Not a bad song on this album so keep em coming Biz! 💯

Can you Fuckin' believe that Lead guitar work! Angus is the GOAT in my book and Im a fan of all the guitar rock gods.

I've never seen anyone move and play like Angus, especially when he was younger. A true guitar prodigy.. His whole body became the instrument. And what can one say about the composing of Angus and Malcolm...truly unparalleled with how many classic, great riffs and songs they have throughout the decades. When is a biopic or miniseries going to be made about them?!

True legend...But there are lots of insanely good guitarists out there...some of which are relatively unknown.

This album is the only AC/DC album that I have left out of all the music that I used to have in my collection. This song is the epitome of rock and roll. I had this album on cassette tape when it came out and played as loud as I could in my car. Thanks AC/DC for all of the memories and your great music.

I saw them in 1978 at the Glasgow Apollo and got a surprise as on the previous gigs it was always live wire that opened the show but when you heard the first few chords and saw Angus on top of the speaker stacks wow it blew everyone's mind

Riff Raff is one of the greatest heavy songs of all time!

That was the SHIT! That's what this was! When you started smilin, I knew it was on! AC/DC is Golden! I've been crazy for them since I could BE crazy, and believe me, I started young! We were stealin my best friends parents Corvette in the 5th grade just to give you an idea. I'm not saying we were smart, but we were having a rockin good time!

The more I listen to this song even after over 40 years , it is such a masterful piece of technical Rock Music , so many chord changes and it's full on like a freight train , Riff Raff do it for a laugh , Killer cut 😎

My introduction to AC/DC, 1978 went to see Aerosmith. The lights go down and the opening act is about to start, never heard of them. A single light with Angus on top of the amps as he does the intro to this song. He jumps down and they just blow the place apart!

AC/DC are the greatest rock band of all time. They have the "swing" of pure rock n roll. You can't get any heavier rock music without being metal. They are the pinnacle.

The energy of this album is through the roof. This tune rocks. I almost forgot about it, but I never forgot that lyric "It ain't humid, but it sure is hot down in Mexico." Also, this one "I never shot nobody, don't even carry a gun. I ain't done nothing, just having fun." Thanks, Biz.

I must have listened to this song a thousand times, but each new time I hear it, I feel the way you look: pure joy! I still get goosebumps!

Malcolm Young sadly passed away November 2017 and he is the #1 most underrated rhythm guitarist. 😔 I hope one day he gets the recognition he deserves.

Most songs on let there be rock, if you listen tight, Malcolm shines like a diamond. It's subtle, but the songs would not be the same without it. This was his particular magic. Like on Thunderstruck it's there and really makes the song for me, but can get lost in the raucousness of the song if you don't what you're listening to.

Hope you get all the subs you deserve bro you're the best Biz!! 💯😎

As Bon Scott would say a Rock and Roll Damnation like Hell ain't a bad place to be and that's no Riff Raff

Malcom is the man that holds the band together with his rhythm guitar and lets lil bro do the flashy things.

Like a bullet comin at you. The perfect description. In my opinion, the greatest rock song ever.

Powerage & Highway To Hell were the band at their peak with Bon. If Powerage is rocking your socks, you're going to love Highway To Hell. Mind you, you've still got another 5 brilliant tracks to go on this one. I was a teenager as these albums were coming out, buying each within days of their release. Grew up listening to AC/DC & still love all their stuff today, but Bon was the man for me. Nothing wrong with the Brian Johnson era, Back In Black, Flick Of The Switch and Blow Up Your Video are all awesome albums, but given the choice I'd listen to Powerage, Highway To Hell or Let There Be Rock mostly. There's a sneaky live album, "If You Want Blood" comes in between Powerage & H To H as well, and it is fire.

While HTH is a cleaner more polished sound due to Mutt Lange’s influence, I think I prefer Powerage because it is a more raw sound. I also prefer the Powerage album lyrically. I really like HTH too though.

The major difference you will find between Bon Scott and Brian Johnson (Back In Black forward) is soul punk metal vs. corporate heavy music

This song crushes from start to finish, one of my favorites.glad to see you enjoying it.

An interviewer asked Keith Richard's of the rolling stones how it felt to be regarded as one the best guitarist, he said "I don't know, ask Malcolm Young"

My memory might be messing with me but, as I remember it, a friend in school lent me 'If You Want Blood'. First track Riff Raff and that was me done for life so it will always be special. My Dad's record collection was Nat King Cole, Jim Reeves and some Elvis 78's (nothing wrong with any of that), but Jesus - how my life changed after hearing that. First gig was Bristol UK, Brian's first gig with DC, and I've seen them at least once every tour since. It's utterly mad how music can grab you by the balls and never let go. When Tommy Vance announced that Bon had died on the friday rock show, my teenage self was distraught to say the least. Credit to Brian - can't imagine anyone else even trying to fill the chasm that was left. Rock on DC

Up to my neck in you, on this album is highly underrated, never gets a mention, and I love it man.

One of the best opening riffs ever recorded!! Fyi

A lot of people dont realize that Angus was only 23 years old when this album was released, a further more only 25 when they made one of the biggest selling albums in the world

Love the way you start smiling when it kicks in😊

That riff and can i sit next to you girl, are 2 of there greatest..

Some nuance to ponder...Powerage was Cliff Williams's first album on bass. Some folks say George Young played on this album. This track is definitely Cliff. In all, Riff Raff is one of the best tracks the band laid down, if for no other reason than it can make you move.

I almost forgot how deep this songs affected me listen to it for the first time Thanks again

Great reaction as usual Biz! This is another one that was almost always played during concerts during the Bon years, but was retired very early in the Brian era. You're just getting warmed up in the AC/DC rabbit hole! After Powerage, there are only 13 more studio albums to go. And don't forget the 11 video albums, three live albums, two soundtrack albums, or the two box sets they have released over the years. Let's keep the party going!

This was one of Eddie Van Halen's favorite songs.

They were part of a genre, Oz pub rock. It's best known protagonists, and totally out there, but there is so much more. Each band had it's own take. The main thread was it was derived from the particular bands live sound. And you had to play 100+ gigs to get a recording contract, so you were good. A bit simplistic, but I didn't want to write a 5000 word essay and still not get it.

This song is in your face from start to finish. Greetings from Sydney. Great reaction by the way.

This was their set opener from 1978-80, and you can hear why. Pure energy, and the perfect way to let the crowd know what was in store for them

Been listening to them since I was 13, at the time most people thought they were incredibly heavy, saw them when I was 16 in 1980, and met them, went back stage and looked at his green velvet suit hung up, he had the red one on, pot of tea waiting for him after (Angus) he didn't drink alcohol, they blew me away, unfortunately never I saw them with Bonn. Riff Raff is one of my favourites. Malcolm was a genius, the engine of the band and an incredible songwriter as was Angus, pure rock and roll.

DOPE thats the only way to describe riff raff

I really enjoy listening to this song with you here

great song to hear first thing in the morning!

These guys got to the top of the heap by playing simple 3-chord boogie. ZZ-Top did the same, although w a totally different style. The secret? The songs are downright hummable!

This has one of the best intros to any classic AC/DC Bon era songs. :)

Gotta love the energy,eh,Biz? I think I would wear myself out at this concert! XD

I have to laugh whenever you've mentioned paying attention to the lyrics. I love Bon's vocals, but the lyrics are as deep as a layer of paint. It reminds me of a quote from Keith Richard: "Rock-n-roll shouldn't be analyzed, or even thought about deeply."

I was in my teens in the late 70's now i'm 58, to this day when i listen to AC/DC so do my neighbors

The feeling!!!

When they first came through in Europe in 76/77 it was such a shocker and a lot of fun too. Never heard a band and singer at the time with such energie, tempo and grit. Bon, ma favorit singer, went to soon falling asleep after heavy drinking in his parked car when it was freezing below zero. What a waste.

young and raw classic acdc
